With Randy's interest in privacy from Big Tech growing lately, in this episode he provides a more-detailed list on the tools he's landed on; Non-Evil hosting solutions, basically.

The Self-hosted Tools

Ghost - Website / Publication. They are pretty awesome, with public company metrics. https://ghost.org/

They are very transparent! https://ghost.org/about/

Open Source CCTC Solution (Anything other than Ring, Nest, etc).

Shinobi is one that I’ve been casually reading about. https://shinobi.video/

Apparently, Dahua cameras are superior as far as the camera sensors go. https://us.dahuasecurity.com/

For best value for the price, I seemingly can’t avoid recommending Ubiquity/UniFi products. They offer UniFi Protect, and that’s likely what I’ll be going with, but I’ll probably start light to see how one camera performs on my porch. Bottom line, I need to get away from Ring. https://unifi-network.ui.com/
